Dylan Bundy entered the Orioles system as the fourth overall pick in 2011 with a mid-90s fastball and a knee-buckling curveball, to say nothing of his vaunted cut fastball. But it’s the changeup that he developed once he joined the organization that has distinguished him so far in his first full major league season.
Bundy’s second strikeout Thursday against the Seattle Mariners came on an 89-mph changeup to left fielder Seth Smith, a pitch that the 19-year-old version of him who first had to begin using it likely could never have envisioned.
